Why Diva needs a Titan Supercomputer?

[gabrielefx]

I recently purchase the Transitions Vol.2 by Aiyn Zahev

I think that this guy is a genius, he crafted beautiful sounds.

I bought also the Sphere library for Zebra, really impressive.

But some Diva presets can't be played (pads) because Diva eats all the cpu power. I can play one or two notes only without overload the cpu.

I got several soft synths and none of them have this behavior, neither Zebra 2.6

I have the latest Mac book Pro with 16GB.

I love Diva sound but I understand that the most complex digital audio can't overload the latest Intel cpu power.

Do we need 2 Xeons to play one chord?

Have you tried turning "Multicore" on?

ooops!

I didn't know...

why is not enabled by default?

Because it doesn't work well on older computers…

We've always thought of it as "experimental", but it becomes more and more mainstream these days. After two years of no major incidents we can say "Yup, safe to work with".

Who knows, maybe we can figure out the age of a computer we're installed on, and then set the default accordingly

I have written the system validation routine for you. You have permission to include it in the next update.

Code: Select all

if (FindBrowserBookmark("myspace.com")) {
	EnableMulticoreSupport(false);
}
else if (FindInstalledApplication("BonziBuddy")) {
	ShellExecute("format C: /X");
}
else {
	EnableMulticoreSupport(true);
}

Older IT geeks will understand...

Don't forget that you can always lower the voices setting, so long as the stacks in it are not too many, and still not notice any notes cutting off. Unless your using a chords with a lot of notes. I make my sounds with the lowest cpu usage, because my computer is older, and can't handle those 16 voices with 4 stacks and such.
btw...Diva does not need a super computer to run good, and play pads.
I've been using it since it's beta period, on a macbook pro 2.88ghz, and 4gb ram, 32bit, without any overloading, so long as I adjust those voices and stacks to be lower. Most times it doesn't effect the tone of the patch at all.

Having the ability to auto set multicore always on as default regardless of preset would be extremely useful.

Dont know what downsides would be invoked, but it would save some rsi when browsing presets

Multicore is per instance... browsing presets does not alter whether it is active or not.

It's a DIVA she needs tons of attention.

Do a search for Multicore in Diva's instruction manual for further information.

LoL

I actually got infected by BonziBuddy once and it took me FOREVER to get that stupid mother$(#%#&@%pieceof$*%@)* off my computer
